Cutting it means putting lives at risk. We fight to protect it because healthcare is a right. seiu.co/4hQey0V

This isn’t about politics—it’s about survival. Medicaid funds home care for aging parents, supports special education services for kids and keeps hospitals running. Protect your family and your community. Tell Congress: Vote “NO” to Medicaid cuts. Call Today: 866-426-2631.

Dismantling the Dept. of Ed is NOT how we put families first. It's an extremist scheme to gut public schools & take away educational opportunities for children, students with disabilities & more. A slap in the face to school workers across the country.

Washington parents are calling my office, worried that school lunch programs will be frozen and that their kids will come home hungry tomorrow.
That’s President Trump’s doing. Thanks to him, families are scared their children won’t have lunch.
